Chocolate Charlie
Charlie may be made with or without coconut. Great treat. This recipe is to mimic Chocolate Charlie, made by the South Bend Chocolate Company. For years this was a staple in our house at Christmas time. After moving away from South Bend, this recipe sort of does the trick. Preparation time is 5 minutes, freezer time is 2 hours. From Barbara Bieganski.
